Plain English Translation

A thin flip chip package structure includes a substrate, a chip, and heat dissipation paste. The substrate contains an insulating layer and a trace layer. The insulating layer has two parts: a first insulating portion with a recess on its underside, and a second insulating portion made of the same piece as the first, but thicker. The top surfaces of both insulating portions are level with each other. The trace layer is formed on the second insulating portion. The chip sits on top of the substrate and connects to the trace layer using bumps. The heat dissipation paste is located within the recess.
